Welcome to my user page. I've been editing and creating new articles since mid-2009. Primary interests include history (esp. Roman, British and U.S.A.), biography, historical fiction, futurism and architecture. I can sometimes be obsessive about spelling (not, however, one of those who replace British spellings with American or vice versa), grammar, syntax and punctuation. All comments are welcome on the Discussion page.

Favorite quotes:

  • "plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose" - Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr
  • "When it is not necessary to make a decision, it is necessary not to make a decision." - Lord Falkland
  • "We learn from history that we learn nothing from history." - George Bernard Shaw
  • "It ain’t what you don’t know that hurts you, it’s what you don’t know you don’t know." - Mark Twain
  • "We have met the enemy, and he is us" - Pogo

I'll add this one; not because I'm a mathematician but because I'm mysteriously attracted to statements couched in this form:

  • “As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.” - Albert Einstein

Favorite rebuttal of a logical fallacy:
